Floodgates was created to be a vessel,
a platform where we can publish articles
and testimonies to bless and inspire God’s
people towards that Godly renewal of
the mind mentioned by the apostle Paul,
and which will stand out from the daily
bombardment of confusing and possibly
unhelpful “information”.
In Floodgates we, as a Church body of
Christ, can share stories and bear witness
to God’s amazing grace and give Him the
glory. Also, we can remind ourselves that
we are nothing without Jesus, that we
would just be part of a dying world and
hopeless.
On the cover, “G” is at the centre of the
title, Floodgates, just as we need to place
God at the centre of our all. Our name
Floodgates originates from Malachi 3:10
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse,
that there may be food in my house. Test
me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and
see if I will not throw open the floodgates
of heaven and pour out so much blessing
that there will not be room enough to store
it.”
Father God, may we all, children of God,
be blessed when the “floodgates of
heaven pour out…” and be reminded that
the presence of God in our lives is the
blessed life.
MAKING
THE MOST
of every
opportunity
by Chris Kam, Senior Pastor
15
Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise
but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity,
because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be
foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
Ephesians 5:15-17
